Sorry, yes it does have an overhead supply, and I have an old photo from (presumeably) the 70's which shows the wires entering the structure at either ends of it, but know they both go in one end. Has this old guy done an illegal bodgit (assuming he moved them)

Whats TT mean, I think you can tell I know nothing of electrics! Thanks for staying with me on this, as if its a problem i need to get someone in asap. Thanks

May be thats why one 100a fuse is painted white and only has a single brown wire connecting it. Maybe the old boy did it himself. I know he was an electrician but thought only the guys from the board were allowed to touch stuff pre meter.

Hey hey!

Your quierying of what I called two mains could be due to the fact that the house used to be two seperate properies. Sometime in the seventies (we think) it was knocked into onne, could it be possible that one was kept despite not neing needed and is this anything to do with it? I still can't...

My teachers would have loved you JohnD, as they say "short, succint and to the point"!

Sorry, when I meant trip switch I meant the 80Amp RCD that is between the meter and the CU. RCD on CU off, and individual MCB off, negative touches earth and the aformentioned 80amp RCD trips despite neither CU or circuit being live. Thanks

Rats did it inmy folks place!

Hi there, I was replacing a broken 2g socket when the trip switch went even though the circuit MCB and the CU RCD were both turned off. I found out it was because the negative wire earthed itself on the knock out box. I've tried to find out why on tinternet but can find no answers. Wny is it...

Hello there, have tried to find the asnwer from previous forums but failed, so here goes, I would like to replace my old cold water tank (un covered, un insulated, ball valve leaking) with a new covered one and am hoping to get a smaller one (weight issues, paranoid about ceiling) and have...
